Has anyone ridden the trail during the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally? Not sure if it'll be too noisy and busy for our liking...

I am confused by your question. Are you expecting the motorcycles on the trail? Or will it be too noisy where the major road crossings near by?

I have zero problems with motorcycles or riders, or the rally. I do suggest avoiding a trip to ride the Mickelson during the Sturgis motorcycle rally, including one week before and after. The rally has tens of thousands of participants or more in the region. The hotels and restaurants and camps will be packed, plus the side by side type ATVs will be everywhere including multiple trail crossings. This will definitely impact your visit, especially if you have to overnight somewhere or eat out, or see the sites they are also visiting. They are also tourists like you, me or others, just with a different hobby.
